can these be used in freezer or refrigerator foods?

These suck big time, do not buy. they are stiff and if you try to bend them they break. Try to find them in some other website. uline.com If you buy them you are taking a chance. Just my opinion. Good Luck

I did freeze them. I have reused them for a couple of different parties and the freezing helped preserve their life. So I assume refrigeration would work as well. Hope this helps. Have a great weekend.

These containers appear to be polycarbonate or PETG plastic. They use what appears to be a silicone seal. They should be safe for the refrigerator and freezer. However, I really do not see the point of using them in the freezer. These were designed to seal air from shelf-stable food. A freezer is designed to extend the life of decomposing foods. I would wrap meat or cheese in tin foil and place it in the freezer. I would use the OXO containers for pet food, snacks, candy, rice, beans, or other dry foods. We purchased these with the square buttions and then OXO changed the square buttons to the PET line and manufactured the same units with round buttons for consumers. We still use the square button models for people food. No problems on any of them yet.

I have used them in the microwave and the freezer and they seem to be fine. I have not used they straight from the freezer into the microwave.

They have been safe in a freezer as longas you leave space at top. They work okay in micro wave but I use plastic wrap instead of lid because lids warp with heat. Have never tried to use in oven

Yes, they can. If you intent to keep them permanently in your freezer, make sure that automatic defrosting system is working well.

Personally, I wouldn't use them in the freezer. They are steel-mesh, therefore, metal, so there's a couple places I wouldn't recommend using them: someplace extremely hot or someplace extremely cold. I have used covered wire shelving in my freezer quite successfully. I put cardboard over them when using ziplock bags so they freeze flat and not with slots where they have fallen through the wire shelf. Hope that helps.

I have used them in the freezer to store red chili sauce I make with no problem but they are not pyrex and I broke one in the microwave once. So freezer is ok but not for use in the oven or microwave, in my experience.

Yes, you can put them in the freezer and you can also use them to bake or heat food (of course without lids). I don't know the exact measurements but the larger one is about 6"Lx3"Wx2"D... The larger round one is about 4" diameter x 2" deep.

I wouldn't see why not. So long as you keep it level when placing it in the freezer.

I don't see why you couldn't, but they are huge (you can put large chunks of animal in them). You would probably still want to heat seal for long term storage to avoid possible freezer burn.

Sorry, I've never used it in the freezer. While I'm not sure the definition of freezer safe I will say, they are sturdy and the lid screws down tightly. I would put mine in the freezer if the need arose.

Yes, you can put them in the freezer, however...wait until the contents thaws, if you try to force it, they may crack, break off a corner. They also do not survive being dropped on the floor very well.Hope that helps, other than that I love using them. I like squares rather that round containers for stacking.
